Hotel reviews for hotels in Malaga
We stayed there on Halloween. The lobby was decorated with black curtains, pumpkins, gossamer and bones. Even Frankenstein was laying on the surgical table. It was so peculiar, but very nice. The hotel by itself is situated very close to Malaga city center. Staff was very polite and helpful. Breakfast was OK, but a bit expensive (6,5 euro). Rooms are very clean, but not very spacious. So, I would recommend it only for a budget stay. Read more
